Without a name

Lukáš Karbus has been discovered by his unique work, a kind of revelation. He deliberately lives outside all cultural events in the village of Genoa in northern Bohemia, surrounded by a generous landscape and his own garden, which he cares every day. Although Luke's paintings respond to modernist aesthetics of simple shapes and pure forms, they are led primarily by the author's ability to literally drain into nature and landscape. Perhaps that is why it is such a convenient technique of watercolor, where fine colors are drunk into paper. Lukáš Karbus led her to perfection, almost incredible - he works on the largest formats that this technique allows at all (as large as the table on which the paper lies so that the author can reach the middle of the image). Laying of colors and tones gives its parts a fractal sense of detail and depth.

Lukáš Karbus (1981) completed the studio of painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Brno in Brno. He teaches painting at the Secondary School of Applied Arts in Kamenický Šenov. He exhibits in the Czech Republic and abroad, his works were presented, for example, in the National Gallery Prague, the Center for Contemporary Art Futura, or in Kunsthalle im Lipsiusbau, Dresden. His work is also part of a number of important local and foreign collections, such as the Prague National Gallery, Leinemann Foundation (Berlin, Hamburg) or Collection Dorothea Zwirner (Berlin). In 2015 he was the finalist of the prestigious Jindřich Chalupecký Prize.
